Re: Poll: Which Version of the PS5 Do You Plan to Buy?

I've got some bad news for you about that "ownership" thing. You don't technically own that game on the disc either. You are licensing (renting) it. Sure, you can still play it by never connecting to the internet again should the license be revoked. But that means no updates or online play possibly as well. There are always trade offs - and of course the sample size of game licenses being taken away from consumers is incredibly small (and likely will remain that way). So in effect, yeah you "own" that disc - but not the game itself anymore so than anyone who purchases digital does.

Re: PS5 Is a 'Masterpiece of Systems Design', Says Epic Games

I kind of agree. The big issue I have with Series X is that it won’t have any games for at least one year and potentially 2 that will not also run on the One. That has to be a limitation on what can be produced. And I already have a One X so I don’t understand the need for a series X for at LEAST a full year - and probably longer. It’s a weird strategy, IMO.

Re: PS4 Games on PS5 - All Confirmed Upgrades

@Heavyarms55

Thank you for justifying the existence of the phrase “there is just no pleasing some people“.

If you thought the PS5 was going to be backwards compatible with PS3, then you are either willfully ignorant or just have ridiculous expectations and are ignoring the limits that BC with PS3 brings to the table. It’s true that they could have made PS five backwards compatible with PS3, but did you want to pay $1000 for the PS5 and have it increased in size by another 25-50%? No? Neither did anybody else.

In addition, I’m just curious as to which PS3 games do you want to play that are not available through PS now?

Re: The Witcher Tracking to Be Biggest Netflix Season One Ever

LOL! Does anyone know that women were never originally stage actors either? All the female roles were played by men. People then didn't seem to have the outrage people do now.

Honestly, if you are offended by a character in a show/movie/play being played by someone who doesn't precisely mirror the original source material YOU are the problem. The Witcher (like every story told since the dawn of time) is a story being told for a reason (whether that reason is to teach, send a message or purely for entertainment). If you don't understand the fundamental underpinnings of story telling, and you're focusing on the appearance of the players, you've missed the entirety of the purpose of the author's work. That's on YOU!

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - One of the Best Star Wars Games Ever

Confused - How can you know you don’t like the character if you haven’t even played the game? Are you just stating that you don’t like the actor they’ve chosen for the role and therefore you wouldn’t like the job that he does in this game?

I’m an old timer and grumpy as well and a giant Star Wars fan to boot. I initially was not on board with Cameron Monaghan in the lead role either. True, he’s not my favorite. But after you play the game for a while it just doesn’t matter. The game is great - I love this game!
